Live DMX lighting scenes and follow actions in Live, Quick Time Firewire live video feed preview top right, projector preview bottom right. I've assigned an Ozonic key to toggle the live video on and off whenever I want to. That way, I can pan/tilt/zoom the video until I get the view I want without anyone else seeing it, then launch it to the projector. Also, I can look at tits without anyone knowing...
I'm running surround-sound audio, Arkaos video, and DMX lighting all in one Live set. Takes forever to load the one scene, but I don't have to change it all night.

I'm not sure the term CJ will catch on. I guess all the time our music is on hard-disks we remain Disk-Jockies.
Rom-Jockey or Memory-Stick-Jockey anyone?
Thinking about it, regardless of format, most of use use some kind of mixer - does this make us all a bunch of Knob-Jockies!? Oh dear.

avj?
brain jockey
multimedia mashup artist?
a/v assault?
i need a new term too... somehow 'breaks dj' just doesn't properly encapsulate what i do anymore, especially since i almost never play anything that most people would consider 'breaks' anymore.

In my evolution from cd to ableton I just decided that DJ stood for Digital Jockey

One thing that i can avise you is not to place the name as MJ (media jockey), since in Portuguese MJ = is read meejay, wich means, pissed myself!
CJ - computer Jogging!
Cheers,
Cj
